Even if you just play for a little bit as a melee combat zombie sandbox I'd say it's worth it. Dead Rising has Zombie melee but it's comical and 3rd person. This is the 1st person hack up a zombie with a machete (or a homemade buzzsaw attached to a motor and bat) game set on a tropical island.

I got about 20 hours of entertainment from Dead Island before getting bored. Pretty standard for open-world action games. I recommend playing the game solo. Makes for a much more survival-horror vibe. If you do co-op, you lose the suspense.
